I got the following answers when I asked the same question a few weeks ago.

I bought the synthetic Wynchmax and while I have not fitted it yet, I think the quality looks good for the money.

I can't find the brand name "rule" for winches. Is this definitely it?
Most winch manufacturers sell replacement motors though.
A 3000lb winch is nowhere near strong enough for a Jimny. You need a minimum of 6000lb but mist of us use 9000lb.
There's cheap winches out there from Winchmax and Warrior. Check out eBay.

The underdog often starts the fight, and occasionally the upper dog deserves to win - Edgar Watson Howe.

Seen loads on fleabay, are Rhino any good, seem good value, I know you get what you pay for, suggestion would be helpful.

I can recommend Horntool winches. Good Chinese winches with European service, etc.
